Scott Brown Bobble Head Video


On the campaign trail, Scott Brown promised to be an independent voice for Massachusetts. But since he took office, Brown has turned into a real "bobble head" for Wall Street and the Republican leadership.



To shipping jobs overseas.
Scott Brown voted to filibuster the Creating American Jobs & Ending Offshoring Act, a bill would have ended tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs or build plants and offices offshore to replace American facilities. (US Senate roll call vote #242, 9/28/10)

To tax breaks for oil companies and billionaires

To slashing Medicaid and Social Security
Brown voted for drastic cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security--and promised future cuts to these critical programs in a recent address to Brighton, MA seniors. Brown continued to flatly rejected closing loopholes on big oil companies or billionaires to stave off the cuts. (Boston Globe, 8/8/11; US Senate Roll Call Vote #116, 7/22/11)



To ending unemployment benefits for out-of-work Massachusetts residents.
Scott Brown voted eight times to end federal unemployment benefits for people who have lost their jobs. Because of Brown’s stall tactics, 30,000 out-of-work Bay Staters saw their jobless benefits disappear in 2010. (2010 US Senate roll call votes #48, #116, #117, #194, #200, #204, #209 and #215)

To slashing $665 million in federal assistance for Massachusetts
Scott Brown voted twice to slash $665 in federal aid meant to protect Medicaid funding and keep 2,900 teachers on the job across the commonwealth. (US Senate roll call vote #200, 6/24/10 and #228, 8/5/10)




To eliminating 7,000 jobs for Bay State youth
Scott Brown voted to eliminate $86 million in federal funding to support 500,000 youth jobs nationwide, including more than 7,000 in Massachusetts. (US Senate roll call vote #45, 3/9/10)



Call Scott Brown at (617) 565-3170 and ask him to start saying YES to Massachusetts working families and seniors -- not Wall Street and the Republican leadership.
